    US car culture is weird as fuck.

    In Europe damn near everybody would think you're a douchebag if you drove one of those in the city. European cities just aren't built for those monstrosities.

      You can't drive these bastards anywhere except wide-ass American roads.

      European cities just aren’t built for those monstrosities.

      I once drove around Kyoto with a couple friends of a friend. That wouldn't be at all notable except for the fact that we were toolin' around in a Camaro in Kyoto. This was the early 1990s and I didn't know the word virtual reality but I experienced a meta form that day. Inside was America and outside was Kyoto but when we pulled over and go out - were were actually in Kyoto.

      Their English wasn't that good so I never quite did learn why the car owner bought a Camaro. He lived in Kyoto and that car was basically ridiculous for Japanese cities. Driving around was like being in a big yacht on a very small river.
